Central Arkansas has a new source for fresh-roasted coffee. Mark Whitehead has opened the Dark Side Coffee Co. in North Little Rock and is selling his coffee at the Argenta Farmers Market in North Little Rock and the Bernice Garden Farmers Market on South Main in Little Rock.

Stop by and shop for fresh veggies, fruits, meats and other fresh produce, as well as flowers, cheeses, prepared food and cool artisan items from 10 a.m.-2 p.m this Sunday. Check out what other markets made our list to visit this spring.
